Groovy Wall Graphics, 1976

The black and whites are from 1976. The last photo is from a contemporary, retro-ized apartment in Singapore. My dad painted something almost exactly like those stripes, right down to the color scheme, in the first place I remember living, a tiny condo in the San Gabriel Valley.

I know the ’80s is totally known for pastels and its day-glo stuff. I remember Westwood in ’84, geez. You’d practically go deaf from the hot orange, pink and green clothes and accessories shouting from the shop window mannequins.
